“It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.” – Herman Melville, American novelist & poet

Have you been wondering if in-person events are really worth all the trouble? I had been. We've gotten pretty good at virtual events and training and had so much fun at our 2021 virtual event with colleagues across the globe. Would an in-person event measure up? The answer was a resounding YES! Wow. I had forgotten the different level of connection, learning, and inspiration. If you get an opportunity in the next few months (or maybe next year...watch for our announcement in the coming weeks), go for it. I promise it is worth it.

And in-person events do flex a muscle (or two) you haven't used in a while. People were noticing that their smile muscles were sore. Even those who love mingling were getting tired a bit faster. When you launch into your first in-person event, remember to take it slow so you don't pull a muscle :) We do look forward to seeing you virtually as we have many classes and community calls coming up over the summer to help keep you connected and inspired. Now off to catch my last plane home! Marie Zimenoff

APR 18 | Academy Certified Federal Resume Writer Training Program |
|
|
In this certification and training program, you will learn how to help clients access an opportunity to serve their country while gaining employment with strong benefits, stability, and a reliable schedule.
Helping a client apply for a position with the federal government is much different than applying for a position in the private sector. Most federal positions are posted on USAJOBS (USAJOBS.gov) and most postings require that applicants apply through the system.
It is important that federal resume writers understand how the system works so they can properly advise their clients. This program, developed and taught by former federal HR professional Nancy Segal, will take you step-by-step through the federal application and resume development process. Group rates are available.

Job search takes a toll on client confidence, motivation, and follow-through. From targeting their search, to networking and using social media, opportunities for fear to erode their success are constant.
Are you looking for tools to address the fears and barriers that stop job seekers in their tracks?
The Certified Hidden Job Market Coach (CHJMC) program offers a structured approach to job search planning, networking, and proactive search. During this 6-week virtual class, you'll learn how to improve job search strategy, hone your coaching approach, and structure your services so candidates land jobs faster.
You’ll also walk away with 40+ worksheets, checklists, scripts, and other tools to use with job seekers throughout the process … all of which you can customize, including adding your business or organization branding!
Delivery: 6 virtual classes (webinar), 1.5 hours each, for 9 hours of training PLUS the 40+ done-for-you worksheets you can customize for your business. No membership or renewal required.
